Pegasus Bay
PRIMA DONNA Pinot Noir 2017 750ml

Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods were used to make this wine.

Upon release it has a deep ruby hue.  The nose is a sultry amalgam of spiced plum, red currant and dark cherry, leading to a savoury underlay of earth, leather, cinnemon, mushroom and crushed thyme.   Fine grained tannins and a concentrated core of ripe fruit thrill the palate, presenting a luxurious mouthfeel.   Well integrated acidity adds perfect balance and poise, setting the platform for a long and harmonious close.  This is a wine with real power and drive, yet delivered with precision and finesse.  While ready to drink on release it can be expected to cellar well and evolve gracefully for many years.
